I'll maybe put some fairy lights 'round my bumper for the season. :-)

Just out of curiosity, have any of you Teessiders clocked the 'undercover' cars tooling 'round 'Boro at the moment? There's a Honda Civic, black one I think. Also a silver Skoda Octavia which is always being driven by a big bald hard looking bloke whenever I see it. They hang out on Union St and Newport and pull over chavs who for some reason don't notice them which is always entertaining to watch. Anyways, I think they're doin' a quality job de-chavving the streets X-cars stylee. Only irritation is that they always pull people over in the worst places, often in rush hour, causing a big blockage.

I see 2's quite regularly. Mine's easy to spot, it's a black rev1 with everything standard (lights, spoiler, 14" wheels - the lot). Live just round the corner from Cannon Park roundabout in Middlesbrough, and head down the A66 towards Stockton every day near the Riverside College.

Also on Tuesday and Thursday I go up to Sunderland in the evening, so you probably see me bombing back down to boro on the A19/Newport bridge at silly speeds to get home at 9.30pm :)

I've seen G's car in the Shell garage on Newport road before, back in July.. Infact there's several 2's parked in our work car park (Barclaycard, Stockton) every day.

I've got IMOC stickers sitting on my desk waiting to be fitted! You'd think I'd manage it in 2 months!! Maybe I'll do it tomorrow *cough*..

Yes! I overtook the Octavia on Newport bridge going towards Asda, which is normally a 30 zone, and I was doing 35 and about to floor it. Then looked at the driver as I was overtaking and something seemed fishy, so I pulled back on the throttle fortunately. (Then hit the 60 zone and caned it).....

Not seen the Civic yet but I'll keep an eye out.

I've seen a silver scooby heading down Linthorpe, only it had a rack of blue lights up top so not too subtle. I think I read somewhere that a few police forces had been trying before they buy a brace of scoobys for some duty or other. Sensible car in some parts of the country I guess, especially duing winter.

The steel wheeled police cars often don't have hub-caps, so are a dead giveaway. Alloys on most of the specials though I guess.
